Today’s post contains two quick hitting plays that you can set up during a time out or to start a quarter or half when you are facing a 2-3 zone defense.
Adjust these sets to fit your players and philosophy and/or take bits and pieces to combine with what you already run against 2-3s.
The plays are from The Best of Special Teams Playbook assembled by Chris Filios. The playbook contains 210 basketball plays from 40 different NCAA teams.
